Abstract

ABSTRACT Geographers engaging with policy debates on armed conflict in the Global South are confronted with a set of difficult questions that have no satisfying answers. In this provocation, I discuss three risks that appear inherent to policy engagement in this domain: the first is contributing to reproducing rather than upending a deeply unjust and unequal world order; the second is reinforcing colonial structures and epistemologies; and the third is facilitating the weaponization of one’s research. The discomforting confrontation with these dilemmas should not deter geographers of armed conflict from contributing to public policy, because non-engagement can be equally – if not more – problematic.
战争、和平与地理:对武装冲突的公共政策的危险接触
参与全球南方武装冲突政策辩论的地理学家面临着一系列没有令人满意答案的难题。在这篇文章中,我讨论了在这一领域进行政策接触所固有的三种风险:第一种风险是助长了再现而不是颠覆一种极不公正和不平等的世界秩序;二是强化殖民结构和认识论;第三是促进研究的武器化。面对这些令人不安的困境,不应阻止研究武装冲突的地理学家为公共政策做出贡献,因为不接触可能同样——如果不是更严重的话——造成问题。
